    Default Concerning IP

    Look it.

    IP.

    It means in progress.

    That means that I am in the quest.

    When you join and ask, "Where are you?", I'm in the quest.

    I'm not in a tavern.

    I'm not at the auction.

    I'm not on my airship.

    I'm in the quest.

    Amazingly enough, if I put "In Progress" in my comment, that also means that I am in the quest. That may throw you off as it is actually spelled out, but I assure you it is synonomous with IP.

    Next time, "Zerged," and why it is probably too late if you are trying to figure out which house the quest is in.

    When asked "where are you", they are referring to where in the quest are you. I am pretty sure they know what IP is. If you are 50% done with the quest then it will probably give a hit on XP and if you are looking to do the quest but also need XP then they will not want to join. If you dont know what "where are you" means then you should probably state in the LFG that you are now 50% done, or 75% done or at last fight, that way you wont get the "where are you" question.

    Two questions:
    1) Does ZIP mean "Zerg In Progress"?
    2) Are we or are we not supposed to keep him from entering the room?

    Sadly in my experience this is not what "where are you" means. Usually it means something more along the lines of what the OP was suggesting. Usually when people want to know how far along I am in the quest they say something like, "How far along are you" or "how long you been in" etc. Again its just my experience.

    I'm afraid you don't know the two conversations I just had.

    Comment said In Progress. Two players asked if I was in the quest and then dropped.

    no, that is "how far are you."

    .... Problem is those guys who need a explanation of what "ip" means are even to dump to know that there is a forum .... so I am afraid this will happen again ...

    But nice try Russ! +1 for your effort

    Default Try this

    A friend of mine brought up this idea, so i had to test it.
    Try with a "No share plzr´s" in LFM. It turned out to have an positive effect.
    Actually better than the "Have ability not to get lost"

    I used to put "ask to share = boot" on my low level LFMs. Still had to boot people fairly regularly, at least it got some lulz from the people in the group that had actually bothered to read it.

    Wait...... You mean you require people to be able to read to join your groups? That explains a lot
